Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services address cracks, settling, and soil instability using helical piers, steel push piers, and concrete solutions. We conduct thorough inspections to diagnose root causes, then design engineered repairs that restore structural integrity. With over 45 years of experience, we ensure long-term stability for residential and commercial properties.
Drainage Systems
Improper drainage causes 80% of foundation issues. We install surface and subsurface drainage systems, including French drains and channel drains, to redirect water away from structures. Our solutions prevent soil erosion and heaving caused by Yazoo clay expansion, ensuring foundation longevity in challenging Southern soils.
Helical Piers
Helical piers provide permanent support by anchoring foundations into stable soils below active zones. Certified by Chance Helical, we install these steel systems with torque-controlled precision. This method meets ASTM D1143 standards and is ideal for both repair and new construction projects requiring deep foundation support.
Pressure Grout Pumping
After foundation lifting, we pressure grout pump voids to stabilize slabs and prevent water intrusion. This process reestablishes soil contact, eliminates hollow spots, and distributes loads evenly. We use high-pressure equipment to ensure complete void filling, preventing future settlement issues.
Site Stabilization
Our site stabilization services combat soil movement through geo-textiles, tiebacks, and riprap installations. We address lateral loads and slope instability, particularly in clay soils prone to expansion. Solutions include seawalls for erosion control and keystone walls for reinforced retaining structures, ensuring land remains usable and safe.
